Vine App for Mission Trips

Posted By on May 21, 2013

Our college-focused church always does Spring Break mission trips, and this year we worked with the amazing Service Over Self to repair roofs in impoverished neighborhoods of Memphis, TN. We’re a Twitter friendly crowd, and so we had a hashtag already set for the trip (#ilifememphis). But the way we really started capturing the experience for ourselves and donors alike was Vine!

Eric Dye already reviewed the new Vine video app on ChurchMag which only allows 6-second videos in a clever Instagram-like app that hit #1 in the Apple App Store this past April!

It took us a while to get the hang of it but soon each work team had people dropping things on Vine to tell the story.

Table Project Acquired by Gateway Church of Dallas

Posted By on May 21, 2013

The table project aquired

Opened in 2011, the Table Project is revolutionary as it seeks to be a Church group interaction platform, not a self-expression engine like Facebook and most other forms of social media.

With thousands of churches using the Table Project as “a custom social platform that aims to encourage community in your local church, empower leaders and move people beyond the pews and into authentic, life changing relationships,” this acquisition may come as a surprise.

Tumblr Acquired by Yahoo! – Now What?

Posted By on May 20, 2013

Yahoo! has acquired Tumblr for $1.1 billion.

I didn’t even knew Yahoo! had that much laying around, did you?

Apparently they do, as they try to buy their way into social media in an attempt to correct the course of this seemingly shipwrecked former Internet giant.

Now what?

How I Was Blocked by Google Adsense (And How I Was Reinstated)

Posted By on May 20, 2013

I’ve had two Google Adsense ads on my blog Youth Leaders Academy for ages. They don’t bring in a lot of money, but they do contribute to covering the costs of my blog. I’d been thinking about getting rid of them and choosing some more ‘desirable’ ads myself, when suddenly I got a notice via email.

My account was being blocked by Google Adsense.

It was a short, standard email that didn’t give any reason why I was blocked, except for this generic ‘invalid activity’. So I searched online (yes, using Google – the irony!) and discovered that I wasn’t the only one who was blocked by far. It seems Google Adsense blocks sites on a regular basis and never, ever explains why.
